You know what I miss about the U.S.? Anonymity. For someone who grew up in an individualistic society and was able to blend in anywhere, it is very unsettling to constantly stand out. It's not just staring, it's just knowing you can go somewhere and everybody doesn't know who you are or where you're from. Kakira is kind of creepy because EVERYONE in the village knows that mzungus are here and that they're living with Mama Fina. But people are nice. I just miss being able to blend in or fade into the crowd, which sounds really conformist, but it's true.
Oh, the power just went off. Better get my headlamp. Shit, Becky's taking her bath...better go get her some light.
Okay. Got her lantern and headlamp. Problem handled.
Anyway, went into Jinja again today for another intern's birthday. It was nice to see all of the other interns again; I think this weekend we're going to go rafting or hiking, which will be fun.
I'm going to stop writing before my computer's power runs out. Hope the power's back on when I go to work tomorrow.
Hope the power is back! And don't die while rafting! If you hike and see a cool ass wild animal, take a picture =]
